Prolific as he’s been during the last three or so decades, it’s hard to believe Jeff Tweedy has never released a formal solo record. Yeah, there was 2017’s Together At Last – technically a solo record, but more of a covers collection (of his own band, Wilco). So it didn’t really count. And we know […]

Need help wiling away these cold winter days? Might we suggest you get acquainted with our friends over at Logjam Presents, who have a unique way of keeping us warm no matter the temps outside. How do they do it? They do it by reminding us one announcement at a time that warmer days are […]

This week on New Tracks on the Trail: • Kate Bush is taking a look back at her illustrious career with a series of “super deluxe” box sets featuring remasters spanning the entirety of her 23-year recording career.

This Tuesday on New Tracks on the Trail: • Two years after winning a Grammy for “Chances Are” – recorded not by himself, but by Lee Ann Wommack, Hayes Carll is finally ready for some more solo spotlight. The Houston-based singer/songwriter will make his next splash in the Americana scene with the Feb. 15 release […]

Pick up your tickets to see […]

This week on New Tracks on the Trail: • Iron & Wine have a habit of dropping companion EPs close on the heels of their full-length releases. In August they did it again with Weed Garden, a collection of six tracks that weren’t finished in time to make last year’s Grammy Award-nominated Beast Epic. Iron […]

A year after he surprised us with a “lost” album from 1976, Neil Young is unveiling a compilation of live acoustic tracks from the “found” tour that immediately followed. After spending much of the year on the road with the Stills-Young Band, Young dropped out and switched focuses to solo and Crazy Horse work that […]

He’s almost as prolific with his political and social activism as he is with recording. We’re talking about Willie Nelson, who seems to have alien-level energy and time on his hands – enough to drop two full-length albums this year (his, get this, 67th and 68th) as well as throw his tattered old guitar into […]
